Standards Coordination SubGroup (SCSG)

Mission

The mission of the Standards Coordination SubGroup (SCSG) is to coordinate standards projects within the IAB, with external organizations, and with the first responder community. The objective is to promote local, state, and federal preparedness for responding to all-hazards incidents, especially those involving CBRNE issues. Additionally, by focusing the nation's resources and expertise in a common effort to establish minimum performance standards to which critical equipment can be tested, evaluated, and certified, the SCSG helps to provide first responders with objective guidance for making informed decisions regarding the purchase and proper use of that equipment. As a result, both first responders and the citizens they serve can have greater confidence in the technologies upon which their lives depend.
